Grand Theft Auto V Continues Hot Streak with 29 Million Units Shipped

Grand Theft Auto V Continues Hot Streak with 29 Million Units Shipped

We all knew that Grand Theft Auto V was going to be big. We’ve been eating up trailers for years. In the early days, we even used to dissect those trailers in order to gleam some kind of information as to the games locale. So it should be no surprise that the game has done well. But how well exactly?

Well, it’s received over 160 perfect scores world wide and, in under 6 weeks, has shipped nearly 29 million units (retailers bought that many copies).

The game came out of the gate with momentum, grossing over $800 million in retail sales during the first 24 hours after launch and over $1 Billion in only three days. Take-Two believes that GTA V is the fastest selling media release in history.

In terms of digital sales, the title also broke some records, becoming the largest release on the Playstation Store and Xbox 360 Games on demand services.
